 Looks like someone had all the luck.
 I'm Xbox owner and almost only reason i bought it (at least the second one)
is cute app called Xbox Media Center (www.xboxmediacenter.de).
 It's not running windows but it's os is (from what i know) based on W2k and
for sure it uses mplayer turned into dll:
XBMC\system\players\mplayer\mplayer.dll - 5 189KB

 Here is a link to it's CVS repository:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xbmc/mplayer/

 I might be talking b*sh*t but well it's a DLL and i know next to nothing
about windows or xbox api
